TurnKey Tech Staffing Staffing Reviews
TurnKey Tech Staffing is the #1 offshore tech staffing firm helping high-growth software companies build elite engineering teams in Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Founded by tech entrepreneurs Sterling Lanier and Boris Glants after experiencing the frustrations of traditional outsourcing firsthand, TurnKey was built to fix what’s broken in offshore hiring — low quality, high churn, and hidden pricing.
TurnKey custom-recruits every role, provides full salary transparency through the cost-plus model, reduces developer turnover with our Talent Retention Program, and eliminates legal complexity through our Hybrid Employer of Record (EoR) solution.
The result? Offshore teams that feel fully integrated, highly motivated, and built to scale with your business, long-term.
What Clients Say About TurnKey
Headspace is a globally recognized digital mental health platform offering meditation, mindfulness, and wellness solutions to millions of users worldwide. The company combines science-backed content with intuitive product design to help individuals and organizations improve mental well-being at scale.
We started with 8 hired developers, and there have been no problems with any of the hires. We are currently monitoring them as we do all engineer,s but there is nothing to report that would make us consider this arrangement with TurnKey anything but successful. The transparent pricing up front, as well as the genuine desire to continue improving with each hire we make, is a big difference maker for us.
Sertifi is a leading provider of agreement and payment solutions, helping businesses streamline contracts and close deals faster through secure e-signature and authorization technology. Trusted across hospitality, finance, and enterprise sectors, Sertifi is known for delivering efficient, customer-focused digital transaction workflows.
We reviewed several similar companies and along with the cost the major deciding factor was the quality of experienced candidates TurnKey was presenting to us. The additional team members worked alongside our scrum teams delivering new feature functionality and enhancements to our platform. We’re impressed with the quality of their candidates and the work ethic they demonstrate on a day-to-day basis in our agile ceremonies.
R1 is a healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) leader that partners with hospitals and health systems to optimize financial performance and operational efficiency. With advanced technology and deep industry expertise, R1 improves patient experience while strengthening provider revenue outcomes.
TurnKey is the only offshore firm we've interacted with that really places an emphasis on retention. They seem to be the only ones that understand how important retention is to maintaining strong product development cycles. Our churn rate with TurnKey has been under 5% annually, whereas we were at more than 50% with our previous vendor.
iScribeHealth is a healthcare technology company that develops AI-powered clinical documentation solutions. By combining artificial intelligence with medical expertise, iScribeHealth helps physicians reduce administrative burden and focus more time on patient care.
TurnKey is well versed in the startup ecosystem and really understands our needs when it comes to offshore dev, particularly how our needs may be different than the needs of a huge public company. I don’t have to explain as much to TurnKey as I have had to do with other offshore vendors—they seem to get it on the first take. But at the end of the day, all we really care about is quality, and TurnKey has delivered the goods on this front better than other firms we’ve worked with in the past.
MiResource is a venture-backed mental health referral platform that connects individuals with the right providers for their specific needs. Partnering with universities, health systems, and employers, MiResource leverages data-driven matching to improve access to quality mental healthcare.
It's been nearly two years of us working together, and we have not had the need to replace a single developer. The programmers have all performed very well, and TurnKey has been able to give us information that has helped to retain our key players.
Why Clients Choose TurnKey Tech Staffing
When software companies decide to build offshore teams, they’re not just looking for developers — they’re looking for stability, transparency, and long-term alignment. That’s exactly where TurnKey Tech Staffing stands apart.
Custom Recruitment — No Bench, No Guesswork
Unlike traditional offshore vendors, we don’t assign pre-existing “bench” developers.
Every role is custom-recruited based on your exact tech stack, seniority level, product roadmap, and team culture.
That means:
- Better technical fit
- Stronger cultural alignment
- Faster time-to-productivity
- Significantly lower risk of churn
You don’t get whoever is available. You get the right person.
A Proven Talent Retention Program
High turnover is the hidden tax of offshore staffing. Most firms accept it as “normal.” We don’t.
TurnKey’s unique Talent Retention Program proactively measures engagement, satisfaction, and alignment — reducing developer churn by more than 50% compared to the industry average.
The result?
- Longer developer tenure
- More consistent product development
- Less rehiring, retraining, and disruption
Stable teams build better products.
100% Transparent Cost-Plus Pricing
Traditional offshore firms hide margins inside inflated rates. That creates misalignment and drives churn.
TurnKey operates on a fully transparent cost-plus model:
- You see the exact developer salary
- You see our clearly defined service fee
- No hidden costs. No surprises.
You stay in control of compensation decisions, which directly improves quality and retention.
Hybrid Employer of Record (EoR)
Hiring offshore shouldn’t expose you to legal or tax risk, and it shouldn’t slow you down either.
Our Hybrid EoR model combines:
- Full compliance and IP protection
- Payroll, benefits, and tax management
- Fast hiring and flexible scaling
- Country-specific legal optimization
You get enterprise-grade protection with startup-level agility.
True Partnership, Not Just Staffing
TurnKey was founded by software entrepreneurs who personally experienced the frustrations of offshore hiring. We built our model to solve those exact pain points.
We don’t measure success by how many developers we place.
We measure it by how long your team stays, how well they integrate, and how confidently you can scale.
